WILDWOOD 
GARDENS 
in your own gardens made us wish we, too, could 
see them. 
But how I wish you who are now reading this 
catalog could see our gardens when in bloom. It's 
hard to tell in cold print about the sight or the 
quality of our stock without seeming to exagger¬ 
ate, but if you could hear the remarks of the 
hundreds of visitors on the sturdy growth, the 
healthy foliage, and the enormous quantity and size 
of the blooms you would realize we are not doing 
the gardens justice with our meager description, so 
we say: Plan your vacation in Michigan and pay 
us a visit; we assure you the trip will be worth 
while. We'll be looking for you in 1937, our 22nd 
year growing Dahlias. 
Sincerely yours, 
JOHN J. ZANT.

AN EXPLANATION 
We receive each year many pictures which show won¬ 
derful results in growing but the photos are blurred so 
that we cannot obtain good cuts of them and we must have 
good cuts of the winners. We are grateful for your inter¬ 
est and only sorry that we cannot award each sender a 
prize. J. J. Z.
